Saint Or Sinner (Bad Things #8)

Beware of Beauty…because she’s got the heart of a real beast.
Smart people—and monsters who know the score—fear Josephine Saint. The sexy vampire might appear to be a sensual temptation, but she’s a cold-blooded assassin. Mercy? Jo doesn’t know the meaning of the word. With each successful hunt, Jo slides one step closer to getting the promised prize that she’s coveted—her Beware of Beauty…because she’s got the heart of a real beast.
Smart people—and monsters who know the score—fear Josephine Saint. The sexy vampire might appear to be a sensual temptation, but she’s a cold-blooded assassin. Mercy? Jo doesn’t know the meaning of the word. With each successful hunt, Jo slides one step closer to getting the promised prize that she’s coveted—her freedom. Long ago, Josephine made a deal with the devil, and now, the jerk is collecting on the final payment due him.
Find the angel…before he rips the world apart.
Her latest target is Malik, an angel who has gone dark. The fool fell and crashed hard to earth, and now he’s indulging in every sin he can find. And, bonus, the guy has every predator in the land closing in on him because angel wings are highly prized on the black magic market. It’s Jo’s job to find Malik and bring his sexy angel ass back upstairs except…
The angel is already changing…into something new and something very, very deadly.
Malik has his own mission, and it doesn’t involve being dragged back to heaven. He’s ready to lose his wings, ready to pay any price, if it means he can right a wrong from his past. He never expected for Jo to hunt him, and he knows that he won’t be able to control himself when she’s near. Because Jo—fierce vampire, deadly assassin—she’s his charge. He’s been watching over her for centuries. Watching her, and wanting her. Now that he’s earthbound, Malik can finally make the vamp his.
Can a vamp save the world? Maybe…if she can claim a fallen angel’s heart.
With every moment that Malik spends on earth, the darkness within him grows. When angels fall, they change. They become something new—and a firestorm is about to erupt from Malik. When the fire erupts, it will destroy everything and everyone in its path…His only link to sanity is Jo, and if he loses her…Malik may lose his very soul.
The hellfire is coming, and it will rage. SAINT OR SINNER…what will you be?

Mindy Lou's Book Review–Jul 24, 2018

Everyone knows if Josephine Saint is looking for you, you better hide. Many years ago Josephine made a pact with Luke who was the ruler of the dark at the time. Every ten years she must hunt and kill someone of Luke's choosing. On her last mission and for the first time ever, Luke wants Josephine to retrieve someone alive.
Malik is a fallen angel and Josephine's next target. Angels are not meant to stay on earth. When they do, they begin to change into something dangerous.

Every ten years she must hunt and kill someone of Luke's choosing. On her last mission and for the first time ever, Luke wants Josephine to retrieve someone alive.
Malik is a fallen angel and Josephine's next target. Angels are not meant to stay on earth. When they do, they begin to change into something dangerous. Josephine needs to bring Malik to Luke within 48 hours or it will be too late to send Malik back and she will have no choice but to kill him. What Luke fails to tell Josephine is that Malik has an obsession and that obsession is her.
I don't think I can say enough about how much I am enjoying this series. Based off titles and description you might think this is a dark series. It's actually on a low scale of dark. There is violence but no cheating or mistreatment between the main characters. In fact, the heroes are pretty protective of the heroines and display jealousy and possessiveness.
There are returning characters in each book but I think the author does a good job of making each one able to stand on their own. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. ARC provided by NetGalley.

The woman was a monster straight to her core…
I devoured this book, and although I have loved all of the releases from this series, Saint or Sinner is definitely up there as one of my favorites. Fallen-angel Malik was the perfect growly, over-protective alpha that I have come to associate with the author and her men from this series and in her writing in general, and put together with bad-ass vampire Josephine this was a couple whose story I adored.
"You have hunted my dreams for so long that I’ve gone mad for you…"
As you would expect from a PNR/Romantic Suspense title from this author, the twists and turns are plenty, the inclusion of dark and light in brothers Leo and Luke Thorne guarantees that, and I am so looking forward to future books coming from this series.
"She’s mine… and I am hers."
Particularly Celeste, Josephine’s sister who has her own Alpha waiting to claim her (who we were introduced to in this book), and I am betting his attempts at getting her to remember him are going to make for another absolutely stellar read when it’s released.
"You with me..?"
"…Always"

I am absolutely loving The Bad Things series.
Josephine is basically the hit man (woman) for Luke who rules the light now but once ruled the dark. Her next, and thankfully last assignment before she can gain her freedom, is to hunt down and retrieve a fallen angel. She has a certain amount of time to get the job done or the retrieval mission will then be a kill mission as the fallen angel threatens the very world we live in.
Malik has a weakness, an obsession, a reason for his fall. At all cost I am absolutely loving The Bad Things series.

She has a certain amount of time to get the job done or the retrieval mission will then be a kill mission as the fallen angel threatens the very world we live in.
Malik has a weakness, an obsession, a reason for his fall. At all cost he must protect his Josephine. Through centuries he has had to stand idly by as he watch death knock at her door and was completely incapable of doing anything about it. Living in the shadows is not conducive to protecting the woman that has transfixed you and therefore, he has taken the one step that will give him what he needs to do so. There will be no returning.
Each of these characters have their secrets, as well as pasts, that are out to not only break them apart but to destroy their very lives. Together, they begin to unravel one evil plot, one evil plan at a time until their own soulless existences are exposed to each other.
I loved this couple and their crazy, maddening manner of dealing with not only what was exploding all around them, but within themselves and with each other. Josephine is one tough vamp. Friends are pretty much instruments she uses to get her job done. Love is something she gave up on long ago. All she wants is to be free. While I loved Josephine, I couldn’t get enough of Malik. Having just fallen, there was a bit of naivety to him except when it came to his Josephine. He spoke a lot of times in simple sentences which were more than adequate to get his point across as most of them amounted to, “My Josephine!” He didn’t grunt, but his character certainly had that vibe to it and that’s one thing I love about my heroes. Malik was completely, totally, over the top jealous, possessive and protective of his Josephine and that fact was proven numerous times throughout the story. Gah! I loved him!
This is action packed with one secret or diabolical plan after another being revealed. There was no down time as amazing secondary characters enter and exit adding more drama, action and information to the story. The steam between Malik and Josephine could be compared to the very hellfire that threatens them at one point, as it is eternal and all consuming. The ending as always made me happy, leaving me content in the knowledge this couple have their happy ever after, even as it sets us up for the next couple.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Multi POV – mostly H/h
Safe (view spoiler)[no om/ow drama; h was with om while the H watched over her from the shadows for two centuries but he refused to bear witness to those times and would remove himself; once H/h meet the h has no desire for anyone else; the H is a virgin – he’s an angel recently fallen (hide spoiler)]
Triggers (view spoiler)[no apparent triggers (hide spoiler)]

Oh my here we go again with another incendiary story in the Bad Things series. No you are not imagining the Beauty and the Beast vibe as certainly Josephine is a beautiful, mesmerising vampire and Malik the angel who has chosen to ‘fall’ is starting to discover abilities that truly are monstrous. To say that they could set the world on fire is no exaggeration because the chemistry between this couple is Hot with a well deserved capital H !

Yet I’m actually loathe to say too much more lest I ruin all the surprises in store for my fellow lovers of paranormal romance. I can say that at times I wasn’t quite sure how Malik would ever get a handle on his feelings and reactions. I also can say that if you are a fan of the extraordinary twins Leo and Luke ( team Luke all the way here !) then yes that manipulative pair feature strongly. Maybe best of all though is as much as I enjoyed the romance it was the unexpected things about Josephine that blew me away.
I absolutely loved this book and happily recommend it if like me you enjoy a riveting story that pulsates with sensuality, delicious unexpected wit and of course surprises galore.
This voluntary take is of an advance copy and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

A fallen angel can be saved but only under certain conditions and in a limited time frame, after that, no one in the world is safe as death, destruction, and mayhem will result. Josephine is tasked with retrieving such an angel or, if they've reached the point of no return, to terminate her target before all Hell breaks loose.
So, where's a fallen angel to be found? In Sin City of course. Malik is taking full advantage of his recent fall from grace enjoying all the sins to be found in Sin City
* * * *
8th installment in the "Bad Things" series that can be read as a stand alone but with the understanding that readers would lose a small degree of understanding regarding back story info.
This is a contemporary paranormal erotic romance that brings full circle the romance between Malik and Josephine, which has a long standing past though one of the characters is not aware of that fact.
Malik & Josephine. Loved the chemistry between these two characters though for whatever reason I wasn't totally on board with how things played out. Enjoyed the back and forth dance between the two in terms of Josephine's initial end goal and Malik's, but, the twist and turns once they hooked up had some issues for me. That's all I'm sayin'
As for the secondary characters. Time for Lucas to get a little payback Karma in my mind. Not sure how the author's going to make that happen, and doesn't look like it's anything in the near future, but when it does ... epic. Merius and Celeste are obviously being groomed as the next couple in the series. Looking forward to reading that one.
Overall an enjoyable read that has a mixture of action/adventure, mystery/suspense, snark/humor, and adult content romance - toe curling romance that definitely showcases the naughty side of angels. lol

So much. She was tough as nails, sarcastic, uber smart, and even though she was basically a killing machine, she still had a code (of sorts) that she followed to keep from going mad like her father had.

I love Ms Edens books but she adds so many outside elements and frustratingly stubborn characters that delay and interrupt the romance. It drive me fucking crazy!!! And its always so unnecessary. I may pick this back up later when I have more patience.

The hellfire is coming, and it will rage. SAINT OR SINNER…what will you be?
In an exhilarating story that has the feel of a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ type tale, Saint or Sinner the eighth novel in the Bad Things series, Josephine Saint and the fallen angel Malik wreaks havoc among Las Vegas, heaven and hell and even into the realm of the Fae.
Josephine and Malik are two very strong characters with lots of charisma, attitude and electrical chemistry that easily draws readers into their story and keeps their entire focus until the very end. The relationship is one rocky road with lots of exciting events and sizzling sparks that captures attention and has readers wondering if this couple will have a happily ever after, a super-hot affair or a knock down drag out fight at any given moment. And that is not to mention the issues and abilities that both characters have that makes them likeable, memorable and in some instances a bit remarkable. Josephine and Malik could set the pages on fire with their passion and enthusiasm for each other and their missions.
This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with lots of thrills, intrigue and surprising twists that no one sees coming including the characters themselves. The past throws a couple of wrenches into the present and with Luke and Leo adding their own brand of tension and fire on an already intense series of events, there is no way for anyone to have a dull moment, in fact, I would say that the excitement never ends in this story.
Bad Things is one series with lots of unsuspecting and unique twists that ensures that every story is fun, interesting and packed full of a whole of enjoyment. Then there are the fascinating characters that add unique elements as well as ensuring that I can never get enough of them, so I can’t wait to read the next one.

Being a long-time huge fan of both author and this series especially, I’ve had really high hopes for this book and I must say, Cynthia Eden has once again exceeded my expectations.
Josephine has had centuries of experience being a skilled vampire assassin, courtesy of a deal she made with the devil and all she needs is to fulfil her last mission before she is finally free. However her task of finding a fallen angel isn’t as easy it had seemed, especially when said angel is hell bent on making Josephine his. Malik has watched over Josephine for centuries and now that he’s fallen, he is changing into something dark and deadly, threatening to wreak havoc and tear the world apart. Too bad the one woman who can perhaps keep him sane is the very same one hunting him.
Their chemistry is explosive and I especially love Malik’s possessive and protective alpha male moments. It was really fun watching Josephine’s feelings for Malik develop and there’s definitely many “aww” instances when she makes her own sacrifices to ensure Malik’s wellbeing. That being said, their journey is not an easy one, especially with the deep secrets each of them carry.
Besides the wonderfully written romance, the plot progresses with a perfect blend of action and suspenseful moments with Cynthia Eden’s trademark twists that will definitely leave you on the edge of your seats. I also really enjoyed the different realm for a change and the cameos by Luke and Leo as well as Valerie and Griffin. Saint and Sinner is unquestionably one of my 2018 favourites (together with Wicked and Wild of course) and I can’t wait for the next instalment of the Bad Things series.

And Saint Or Sinner was the darkest yet! But in a VERY VERY good way. Josephine felt so much different than most previous heroines in this series. She is 100% tougher and 100% more kick a**! She is tough and sure knows how to take care of herself while Malik is something completely different and unique than most angels. And his obsession with Josephine changes him into something extraordinary and more dangerous than Luke or Leo and that to me, was utterly fascinating.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. For once I savored it, made it last more than a couple days. I still felt disappointed to see it end because it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good, but I felt like I got one heck of a exciting ride. The lust is high and the heat HOTTER than fire and LOVED. IT. This is exactly the kind of lust, romance, and love I look forward to reading. Its the FOREVER kind. It makes me sigh and swoon and just FEEL. I am already aching for the next one!
Saint Or Sinner gets a INTOXICATING FIVE THOUSAND SHOOTING STARS!

I really enjoyed it :)!
Cynthia is building a really vast world for us. I love that the veil is now represented. All the different paranorms keep increasing too. It looks like even more may be created ;).
So we have Luke at it again. It's funny how he's supposed to now be the Lord of the Light. Think he's having a few issues with that. And we have poor Leo who is having the darndest time with his transition to the Light. I'm sure it will all work out after a few centuries, ha ha.
Luke has called Jo I really enjoyed it :)!

Luke has called Josephine to do his bidding one final time. She has been his assassin of evil paranormals. She is to bring back to Luke an angel who is on Earth before he becomes a fallen. She has 48 hours.
Seems Malik has been watching over Josephine for decades and has decided to "fall" to keep her safe.
Josephine finds Malik and is unable to get him to go back with her. He even breaks through a spelled containment. So they track each other down and are attacked several times. They are unable to determine who is after them and all the while Malik is beginning to go dark, become a fallen.
Full of action and fun. Love Luke and Leo. I think we're nicely set up for another chapter of "Bad Things" and I am very much looking forward to it!

Josephine is a vampire and an assassin and has one more kill before her deal with Luke is done. She has been around for hundreds of years. Malik is an angel who is obsessed with Josephine. When he falls, she must bring him upstairs ( to the good ) or kill him. If not then the darkness will take him over and nobody wants that.

Josephine is a witty, bada$$ vamp. Malik is sexy and just wants his Josephine. Another wild ride from Ms. Eden. When you read her books, they suck you in and keep you hooked. This is funny, bloody, with all types of paranormal characters.

The Bad Things Series is continuing so, so well with Saint Or Sinner. Cynthia Eden has written a hit of a series that shows it can stay fresh and interesting, need I say addictive even after seven previous books. There are no creatures that she won’t tackle to give the reader their story.
Josephine Saint is a vampire which is not uncommon in paranormal books, but she is also a killer assassin. I thought that Valeria may be the big and bad female out there, but Josephine is a tie for that title. The Bad Things Series is continuing so, so well with Saint Or Sinner.

Malik, well, you should read the book to see what he is capable of doing, along with the way to stop that from happening. The character development is remarkable. Intriguing, compelling read in a series that is like the potato chip commercial, you can’t just read one. Too, too satisfying.
4.5 Stars
An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Saint or Sinner is a wonderfully written supernatural romance, with vampires, werewolves, angels, witches and fey, mix with kick a** vampire assassin Josephine and you have a story full of action and wonder. Josephine is sent by the devil to bring back Malik a fallen angel, if she fails to 'persuade' him to return she is to kill him, doing this would free Josephine from her servitude to the devil.
Malik has been watching over Josephine for centuries and has fallen hard for her.

Malik has been watching over Josephine for centuries and has fallen hard for her. Their interaction is thrilling, funny tender and passionate...very passionate! Both are hiding secrets from each other so have a lot to work through.
A great read.....brilliant.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book.

Saint or Sinner by Cynthia Eden
Bad boy cravings? Angels are the new bad boy…
Ms Eden wins again with this twisted tale of what is good and bad. Superiorly written characters take the reader through some expected and unexpected twists in this wonderful book. Breaking preconceived ideas of what is expected from a book revolving about a vampire and an angel, this is an exciting dip into the paranormal romance genre.
I thoroughly enjoyed the interplay between characters, the humour and the romance. A Saint or Sinner by Cynthia Eden

I totally loved this book and devoured it in hours. Malik is a fallen angel and there’s concerns on maybe his becoming evil. I loved how hard he’s fallen for his vampire Josephine. It’s so hot when he’s so possessive of her and hates her biting anyone else. Love his protectiveness too. But can she really destroy him? Or is she falling too for her Malik? Loved staying on edge, there’s always twists to Cynthia Eden’s book that keep me so absorbed and emotional on her books. I voluntarily read an a I totally loved this book and devoured it in hours.

Malik really doesn't like others touching what's his, “you figured wrong, Larry.” Terror flashed on Lawrence’s face. “No one hurts my vampire,” Malik growled. No one." Malik really sees no fault in his woman, "but you can always touch me, my Josephine. I like having your hands on me." Malik is a jealous man, "the ***l she would bite another. “No.” His denial came out as a dark, hard rumble. “You drink from me. Only me.” This is actuallymy favorite series by Cynthia I love these characters I love

OMG!!!
Omg, this series just keeps getting better and better!!! Lately, in a lot of the books I've been reading, I usually like the hero, and despise the heroine!!! Lots of them are just weak, but most are just stupid. I love ALL of Eden's heroines, but I especially loved Josephine. And Malik? WOW!!! Perfect together, perfect for each other. This is probably my favorite Bad Things book, well, Luke and Leo. In fact this is one of my favorite pnm books ever!! Period. But it, read it, LOVE IT!! I pr OMG!!!

This world just keeps getting better. This was an exciting story that took more than a few crazy deadly curves - way to fast. There was not a single chapter that didn't reveal something unexpected.
The author has designed an amazing world (series) with tons of rules...However, my favorite thing about her the Bad Thing series -- is that her characters never follow the rules. It makes me crave these stories...

This did live up my expectations, you know after Wicked and Wild, I don’t really think anything could compare but damn me, how wrong am I!!
I usually don’t have much to say when the book is great!!
So I’ll leave it at this.
Highly recommended.
P/s: Badass heroine and Badass hero, what could go wrong? I don’t see much 😉

Funny, action packed adventure
I absolutely love this series! Josephine and Malik had a lot of enemies to overcome, and had to get out of their own damn way, to get the ending they deserved, and I feel the author did a fantastic job bringing it to fruition. Seriously great storyline, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Such a great love story! Malik is every girls dream. He’s an angel willing to move heaven and Earth for the woman he loves. This book has great characters, an inventive plot, action and romance. I devoured this book in a day. I hope there will be another book in this series.
